HAIL SANTA! 🎅🏻🤘🏼
The actual plaque at the park will read:
With Sun & Moon, the Stars and Time
The Chronos spins and Worlds align.
For if you seek the curious heart,
your compass true, and Stars to chart:
Beyond this Gate find gardens green
and Epic Worlds to fill your dreams.
They were inspired by the Disney speech.
They’ve created a park that is generationally popular. 1930s & 1940s, 1980s, and the 2000s. It’s going to be fantastic!
We'll see you there. :)
@@UniversalOrlandoquick question will there be a grand opening broadcasted live on NBC streaming live on peacock because honestly I would love to be the host of the gold carpet coverage of this because this will be so epic so can we talk I'm a content creator
@@braylonlee1924 Bro you have 1,000 subscribers on RUclips, I would expect to be ignored by them. Not worth their time.
@@braylonlee1924 Lmao
It’s not fantastic, it’s epic! 😊
These guys are doing a great job of saving families from Disney World
I was just thinking the same thing tv! Back to normality instead of indoctrination campaigns
Yep😂
@@trying3841what do you mean? What indoctrination?
@@arwyss you're joshing us right ?
universal is releasing a movie called " the american society of magical negros" don't get your hopes up.
Bro when they showed the How to Train Your Dragon part i cried, that series is my everything
fr, cant watch that shit without tearing up a bit.
It's seriously a very underestimated land I think. Some are like HTTYD??? But I think once they see and experience it they will like it. Great land for families too!
IM SO EXCITED FOR IT TOO OMGGGG
Smart move, considering when the people who grew up with HTTYD are about to start making more disposable money as adults -- and then they can spend it on their childhood dreams they never had -- on their kids.
Just imagine a ride when your flying dragons, im gonna assume some sort of simulator but it would amazing
Finally a horror themed world. The Mack Rides coaster looks cool too.
This is the underdog... classic movie monsters! Should be awesome.

My mother and I used to go to Uni and IOA all the time. She recently was diagnosed with cancer and is bedridden. I showed her this video and it made her smile. She said she would love to go once this opens. I hope the anticipation and excitement will give her the strength to fight this cancer so we can once more go together.
Wishing her the best ❤
God bless you pray and have faith 🙏
God bless you guys! 🙏
Will be praying for her
Hoping her best.
Universal is the definition of nostalgia because every time I go either with my friends or family I feel like a kid again 💯
That's what Disney is worried about losing
And that’s what’s really changed there was always nostalgia for the Disney parks and vacations but now uni has the nostalgia factor too as people want to bring their kids to something they loved as a kid .
Going to Universal and Disney theme parks in the 90's were great memories I always get to have... I went again as an adult recently and it was such a special experience
No one does theming and immersion like Universal. I've lived in central Florida for almost my entire life, and I've been present for the opening of a multitude of parks - and this one has me the most excited! The tech is gonna be unreal.
I don't think we've been to the same parks. Some sections are themed nicely, but transitions between lands is not their strong suit (and the majority of their park in Florida still looks like an outdoor mall or cheap tourist traps along I-4). People may not like Disney for whatever reason, but they have much better theming than Universal.
Disney has much better theming, at least at the time of me writing this. Epic Universe may very well set a new standard
My favorite part is the part where they think there is still a middle class to pay for the tickets.
Uhhh Disney?
I like Universal and I'm not a Disney adult, but no matter how big of a hard-on you have for DeSantis that's blinding your judgment, Disney has had the upper hand for a while and still does as of this very moment.
Epic Universe might move the scale in Universal's favor, but it will take a lot to dethrone Disney.
I am absolutely blown away by the level of heart they put into this. It’s gonna be EPIC!
We can't wait!
That’s a fantastic observation. The passion and care for people comes through. Very refreshing.

@darthvader3936
HOTD is short for House of The Dragon. It's a prequel show for Game of Thrones, it's 2nd season js coming out soon.
Universal is on a whole different level. I had passes that they gave us 20 years ago and they said they where good forever. We went last year and I thought they are not going to give us free passes. They not only gave us the passes for both parks but comp. My granddaughter ticket. We will be back again this year and of course in 2025 they definitely earned our business and care about the experience. Way to go!
One time about ten years ago, my friend came with me, but only got to go for one day, and there was an issue with his ticket, and it cost us like an hour. My dad complained to them, and they gave us both free fast passes to make up for the time we lost.
Good luck getting into that park on opening day (or even Orlando lol)
The reason we originally got the tickets was because we were in line to get in and they asked us to give tickets to employees that went above and beyond for the day. It was for big prizes that employees could win. They were very happy to receive a ticket. I would have done it even if they didn’t give us the free tickets. I was just so surprised 20 years later they still honored them.
I wish Universal owned Star Wars😭
Dueling coasters are back?? Hotel and food spots look amazing. If u guys execute this right u just might create “Universal Adults”
Lmao
Hey Swoozie! Didn’t expect to see you here.
There already are some 😂🙋🏽♀️
Families actually.
Universal adults are gonna be a trip
It's honestly amazing how Universal parks went from riches to rags and then back to riches again. Probably one of the greatest comebacks for any company ever. Universal is on fire right now!
Let us cook ;)
Universal is definitely giving disney a run for there money. I think they might be winning lately.
This will be the secret weapon that brings people to Orlando to go to Universal first, and Disney if they have leftover time/energy/want to
Not only this park they are giving Disney their.IPs and improving Universal Studios Orlando again.
@@kevinschneider17072025 will definitely be a shift. When Disney spends a bunch of money on digital signage close to Epic. It shows they are concearn

cant yall enjoy both lmao this aint a turf war
@@matthias8161exactly!! I totally agree

Universal - keep listening to your fans. You did exactly what we were hoping for. My family will be there the year it opens!
And that's how you fucking announce a park. My god, this was gold. Way to go Universal team!
The level of production. The incredible visuals. The returning director icon. I could help but tear up. God bless Universal Orlando!
This is for the fans 💙

Yeah, now fork up $2k for the family to come.
@@Solarcloud Don’t be so cynical here!
@@Solarcloud I hate it when people are being so snarky and don’t see the beauty in all of this.
imagine having a theme park with every single ride that’s ever been made and not defunct, truly a place where magic could happen
Universal Epic combined with Univer Studios is without doubt going the kick Disney World's arse!! 💯👍💯👍💯👍💯
Prob not especially if they dont improve rides
I’ve been watching the updates since ground broke. The rumors, additions and now official new concept art is the best part of watching a theme park grow❤ here’s to 2025, I’ll be in my happy place then :)
Real ones found this comment from the Carter culttttt❤
okay shill akay payed for comment.
@@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus Pay me money
Ridiculous
If only Disney’s current execs had this level of passion and conviction towards pushing the boundaries further in Florida’s parks. Well done for going all-in on this Universal 👏
"We listened to the fans."
Disney execs must have laughed out loud at that part
I bet Disney watched this video and thought, OH, SH*T!!!
@@michaelhuff3653someone who worked at higher up at disney said they laughed when asked to walk the parks
"pushing the boundaries" with a carousel and some little water jets?? 😭😭
making a two-track coaster and a dragon ride like they ALREADY HAD but they had to close down because of safety concerns & low interest? this doesn't feel very boundary-pushing to me 😂
@@MrKarmapolice97Disney is rolling in money. Disney doesn’t care because no matter what, they know they have paying customers.
This will directly compete with Disney Parks, which is great for competition. Personally, I always loved Universal Parks over Disney ones. Can't wait for Epic Universe!

@@matthias8161 a small but mighty community! Are you in the trade?
Incredible. Also, that dark universe park gonna be 🔥
Wish they would've spent as much time describing the Dark Universe park as they did the other attractions. Was like in-depth analysis of each park and then just throwing in "and there's a monsters park ... now onto Harry Potter ..."
@@MrRaydennis1980i agree! im hoping its cause the land only has two rides and they dont want to give too much away, but we just want to see it alllll 😂😭
Omg Garrett Watts! I am also so excited for Dark Universe, the amount of money I’m going to spend in that land is not healthy 😭😭
@@hellorcleorr I worked at Universal Hollywood for 3 years and was so mad that they got rid of the House Of Horrors
What Dark Universe park? They don’t HAVE a Dark Universe to make a park out of!
I grew up in a world where Disney parks were the ultimate destination. Universal has picked up the pieces that Disney left behind and created a magic making world. Epic Universe looks to be the center of the world for dreamers, storytelling, and the BEST theme park in the world. Keep going, Universal!
Absolutely. I LOVED Disneyland growing up. Now it’s so directionless, crowded, and out of touch that there’s no way I’m taking my kids there. Epic World will be our big family theme park destination as soon as they’re old enough.
@@10mm_is_best_mmcrowded? Lmfao. It's an amusement park
@@Rathkan Have you been to a Disney park in the last decade. There's amusement park crowded, and then there's Disney crowded. Not the same thing, troll.
Disney is business with other situations now
@@Rathkanyou must be very ignorant if you think disneyland crowds are comparable to average amusement park crowds lol
httyd is a trilogy that I hold close, loved it dearly when each movie came out and still do and I'm so stoked for that land in particular, but the fact that universal is pushing to really bring more immersive experiences to its theme park and really make itself even more of a competition to disney is really exciting. Especially since they've really been lacking in recent years and have lost a lot of the magic that you guys seem to be taking and using to your advantage
really looks like you guys are moving things in a really promising direction and I can't wait to see what you guys bring us and can't wait to enjoy in these new parks in person at some point
Seeing HTTYD included is making me emotional. One of my favorite franchises getting the love it deserves
i love how universal actually cares about their past and how they started (Remembering their original movies and creators and giving them credit along with appreceating their creators) unlike Disney who has COMPLETELY ignored and forgot about what their original creator (Walt Disney) wanted for the company, for example, the movie "Snow White and the seven dwarfs" a beautifull movie with romance and love, honestly my favorite disney movie and its what saved disney from going bankrupt, but nowadays they have decided to do a re make and in live actiona dn they changed it to just "Snow White" and removed the seven dwarfs and removed the entire romance part wich is basicly the entire point of the movie, and here is the actors reason "the story is literaly of a guy stalking her, yeah, weird .-. weird" not only that but disney movies just suck, they are not eye catching, they are either encouraging LGBTQ+ or femenist's or racism etc. which is absolutely stupid and not at all what Walt Disney wanted for the company, disney movies and shows are low effort, low quality and bad story telling and just suck, so quit complaining and being on disneys side (ahem, REPLY COMMENT SECTION), even if universal removed their old rides, at least they never forgot about their past, unlike disney who wants to forget about it and just make money, i mean seriously just check the disney stock market, i agree with elon musk, BOB IGER, GFY -stealth gaming 2
What wishes? This is such a dumb statement to sound profound.
Walt Disney is ever changing. That was Walt's vision
Yeah Walt wanted change, but it was innovative change, not cheap cash grabs. Story, not monopoly
I agree… a majority out there blur the lines between change and pandering to the masses. Bring back the creativity those parks once had.
The wishes of Disneys original founder being naziism and facism?
Feels like what Disney should be…passionate about their park and guests. Bravo!
It’s a single roller coaster…
@@jaredf6205coasters aren't everything... It's the experience.
@@Macky4941 I wrote that before I watched the second half of the video lol. I thought the whole addition was only that celestial area.
Bro why does everything have to be a diss and a competition? I’ve never heard a single kid complain about going to Disney World😂 And obviously most of you taking these shots at Disney aren’t kids which makes it even more weird.
Both parks are already amazing and now universals getting a big upgrade. I'm excited!
I can't stop the tears. How To Train Your Dragon is my childhood. To see it come this far it my dream come true.
I remember back when I was young and my parents took us to Universal for the first time. This video brings back so many memories. Now that I’m older I cannot wait to take my daughter when this park opens. To think it may only cost a second mortgage to go!
I love how Universal asked their fans what they wanted. Then they took the ball and ran with it. Touchdown!

@@TiangeloDisney has been playing catch up. The ONLY reason Star Wars galaxies edge exists is because they were trying to play catch up to the Harry Potter worlds of universal. (That’s not conjecture either those are hard facts stated by the company)
Disney's response...uhhh, new popcorn bucket? 😂
Hey we also have dudes dressed as a fairy princess…
Do you mean that Disney doesn't bring anything new? If so, that's ridiculous, Disney has opened so much stuff in the last 10 years (Avatar land, Toy story land, Starwars land) they've also created attractions that have top-of-the-art technology (rise of the resistance, avatar's flight of passage, etc.) they also have much better food options.
Yeah, don't forget. Disney is always implementing new ways to screw you over! They also have frustration and depression, waking up before the crack of dawn, only to still miss out on booking a spot to ride what you really came for because the app is so full and booking is closed. Oh, what a shame you spent all your savings from the past 5 years, just to get here and experience this one ride. You didn't book it fast enough. Maybe you'll get another shot in another 5 years, huh?
I think Disney really needs to go back to its roots. Make a park with more original attractions, no IPs
Disney will be open just to lgbt+ q community
Everyone say thank you Alicia!! She nailed every single detail!
this actually made me cry. a whole new park is so exciting i cant contain the emotions that this is causing me
I love how responsive the team was to feedback from guests regarding the parks, as well as how responsive the youtube page is just here in the comments. If you keep scrolling you can see just how much they’ve liked and responded to comments. *This* is the level of attention we love from our parks!
Well said. It's also much more direct and genuine than Disney's strategy to sponsor bloggers to run their PR for them. I know Universal is running a business but it's refreshing to see what looks like a more direct connection between what fans want, what Universal is delivering, the fans' reactions, and Universal's response. I've been a Disney passholder for years and this is just refreshing.
My guys you couldnt be more right 😭. For all ages, the emotions that go with each of these worlds. Like yeah i'am not at the edge of tears when i see Toothless in the new Dreamworks *intro i don't know why it makes me want to cry, i probably would if i actually ended up at that gate in this park
I nearly cried hearing Colin Clive’s inspirational lines. Absolutely beautiful.
I love the quote by Dr. Frankenstein at 1:06: “Where should we be if nobody tries to find out what lies beyond?”. He is so excited and passionate about his work and creation…and they use that to talk about the future of Universal. 😍
Listen man, it’s just a basic theme park with Mario in it. It’s not like this is some extraordinary experience like seeing Grand Canyon or going to space. Most of the theme park experience is waiting 2 hours for rides that last 2 minutes - you don’t need to “find out what lies beyond” that😂😂
@@johnathanl8396 I disagree. The immersion is real, the love for the classics is real, and I cannot wait to be there. It’s not a substitution for amazing locations in real life, but it offers something else that they are doing their best to realize for us…. and I cannot be more excited for that realization.
As an employee of Universal Studios Hollywood, I’m definitely planning my day at Epic Universe. Truly a park inspired by incredible movies. Old and new. You’ll need to give Universal credit for this amazing experience that at this moment would really shake things up with Disney
And you know you guys are getting that worker soft launch day too! No lines, no crowds and that fresh new ride smell
I think it won’t be long before we see Disney finally reveal something new and exciting to help them easily compete with Universal. They did it back in the early 2010s when Wizarding World debuted and they can do it again.

You guys are KILLING it, Universal!!
YES YES!! HNNNNNG YEAAAAA DONKEY KONGGGG!!! MMMM OH YEAH MARIO!!!
Universal has done it! Over the last 10 years and beyond they came to the table and earned their seat at the head of it. They have captured the intrigue, imagination, and hearts of all ages.
I love that Universal is putting a section in this park that’s not based on any IP. That roller coaster and carousel look incredible and it shows Disney that not every new attraction has to be based on the latest movie.
Universal rarely gives us anything that's not IP-based. The last time they did was with the Port of Entry at IOA and The Lost Continent, which is essentially gone now. I hope Celestial Park is allowed to grow and expand with new attractions without being completely taken over by a sci-fi IP!
@@Tortidis987 That's not true. Volcano Bay is an original concept.
I agree 100%. I think Disney has forgotten that Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, the People Mover, Everest, and Soarin’ Over California were not IP-based. These are iconic amazing rides.
@@Tortidis987 Port of Entry somehow tied all of the seemingly unrelated IPs together in such a great immersion that I still think it's the unsung hero of that entire park - and I still wish I could go back in time and re-experience the Lost Continent for the first time in all of it's opening day wonder. It was so awesome not knowing what to expect at all since there was no pre-existing knowledge to inform your every step.
It also makes it timeless. IP gets old
Wow, Universal really knows how to create magic! This new park looks absolutely incredible. The attention to detail and the immersive experiences they're offering are mind-blowing. I can't wait to step into Celestial Park and feel that thrill of being alive. Universal, you've outdone yourselves! Can't wait for 2025!
Hi
Found the Universal account!
Yeah you're not a real person.
See I would care about this block of text, but you bought this account so therefore your opinion is instantaneously invalidated :/
How this this account has 6millions subscribes and only two videos with less that 1million views?
I am a Disney World girl (I’ve tried Universal studios, can’t get into it) but I am so excited for Epic Universe!! I so wish Disney would take notes on this and LISTEN to what their fans want!! They’re going to have major competition 👏
"I so wish Disney would take notes on this and LISTEN to what their fans want!!". So you're aware of it and spend your money with them anyways. Back to that in a moment.
I was a huge fan of the brand. I loved everything Disney. I moved my family to Central Florida specifically to be near them. But little things kept popping up that made me question the blind loyalty. But when the beer flu hit, and the way they treated us annual pass holders was the final straw for us. I didn't hate them. I just didn't want to spend my money with a company that blatantly told me they don't care about me. When Disney (based in CA) publicly announced they would fight with everything they have against what Floridians voted for, is when I learned started seeing how it's not that they just don't care about their fans, but are actually quit toxic. The law that they want repealed is that school employees are not allowed to discuss sexual content with students between the ages of 5 and 7. That's it. That shouldn't even have to of been written. You have to be a special kind of mentally ill person for that to upset you. I understand not everybody is aware of this. But the saddest part, and this get's back to the beginning, there are plenty of people that are aware of it and set aside their values and morals to be entertained. Disney, and I know this is hard to hear because I refused it for awhile myself, does not care about you. They used to. There was a time when they did everything they could to earn your loyalty so you'd be back next Christmas break. That has been gone for a few years now.
@@VerbilKint I try to stay out of politics. The way I see it, it’s just a lie no matter what side you’re on. It’s hard for me to give up my passes since I’ve been an AP holder for years and I guess I just have hope that they will change. I love living in central FL because of the theme parks, but I can’t do universal because their rides get me so nauseous, that’s why I stick with Disney World as well. Yes I am hoping for change though.
@@ZaraVal My wife and I just had a conversation about Disney leadership and specifically what it would take for them to get back the people like us that left. We concluded that they would have to be gutted and start over like Musk did with Twitter. The wokeness is too dug in. I'm glad you didn't seem to take offense because that was not my goal. I merely seek to educate people on what their money is being used for once they give it to Disney. USO isn't perfect neither. Of the Big Three central Florida attractions, we think SeaWorld/Busch Gardens aligns best. Yeah there's the whole Blackfish thing and animals being held in captivity. I'm not a biologist so I can't make an informed opinion on that. But I do know, as fact, is when we pay for annual passes with them, some of our money is being used for a huge animal conservation and rescue program. They spend an enormous amount of money on that. Maybe in the future we'll both get our wishes and Disney turns things around. We love the parks themselves, but it's like crossing a picket line for us. Wouldn't it be a hoot if 10 years from now, we're all standing in line for Haunted Mansion and this conversation comes up? Stay cool neighbor ✌

@@VerbilKint The law's a joke. It's vague as can be, and they set the bar to 12th grade months ago. A teacher could theoretically be fired for casually mentioning their non-traditional spouse.
@@kylegathright Exactly. The fact that they take issue with Disney's incredibly tepid denouncement of a fraud law meant to slowly weed out diversity in classrooms through vague definitions and not Disney's blatant greed, anti-consumer practices, and borderline monopoly in the film industry says everything. Disney is a horrible company precisely because it is such a powerful company, and there's plenty to take issue with, especially in how they've turned a section of Florida into their own self-governing, hyper consumerist city. But when the arguments are this flimsy, bigotry hidden behind dogwhistles and scare mongering, I'm forced to side with the multi-billion dollar conglomerate.
Whoever did the landscaping props to you because its beautiful
As someone that visits Orlando multiple times each year, I can't wait for Epic Universe to open. This is the immersive experience we witnessed in the Harry Potter attractions, being taken to a new level with worlds that will appeal to ALL ages. This is the park we have been waiting for.

This is definitely looking to be the best next generation theme park to debut in a long time
As a family we took our very first Universal trip November of last year and we were blown away! This announcement has us excited to return!!
Giving the fans not only what they want but more importantly, giving the fans what they don’t even know they wanted. That’s innovation right there. Huge Disney fan here but I’m rooting for you Universal! This is the type of work ethic, passion and ethos that put Disney on top and they are sadly losing.
Damn, I thought I was watching a Disney promo. So happy for Universal! They are killing it. Disney needs to take a back seat now!
Hopefully it'll mean Disney steps up their game a bit. Or at least gets competitive with some offers. Don't get me wrong, I'm a capitalist at heart but over the last few years they have turned every screw as far as possible (and even too far in many cases!) to get the maximum expenditure from visitors and give them the least in return that they can get away with.
@@JD-wn3cc Disney messed up Galaxy Edge being a world that was not present in the movies. That Star Wars hotel still can be fixed if they include half and full day packages to go alone with the three day stays and lunch, dinner theatres. Disney also must get a family friend video game character IP's into that park. A nice Alien V Predator in Hollywood Studios would be nice as well.
@@Smiggly2574 I love Galaxy's Edge, and I don't think they messed it up. It feels like being on parts of Tatooine or other parts of the movies, and it looks and sounds like Stars Wars. I'm glad they are allowing characters from other time periods into it as well. With that said, I definitely like what Epic is doing, including having a hotel integrated into the park. I hope Epic is successful, and Disney innovates some more as well. Theme parks are just all about wonder to me, so that's all it has to achieve.
Star Wars Cruise Hotel was a big mistake, but they could still turn it into a really nice hotel. Still no word on what they are doing with it now that it closed.
Universal will always be PEPSI. Cheap version of the gold standard.
@@TheGenXerWell, the gold standard is SUCKING HARD right now!

This is looking to be one of the greatest theme parks ever built. They know what's up when it comes to listening to the fans and creating immersive experiences from video games, to fantasy adventures, to what saved the studio to begin with.

OH. MY. GOSH. For someone who grew up with a Disney family and always preferred Universal - this is my time. I’m so stoked.
I want to cry rn thank you for always keeping us excited for more to come see you mysteriously gorgeous landscape
I’ve been going to Universal since I was basically born. It’s been about 33 years and counting then. I was there when every new attraction was open since the early 90’s. I got to experience when Island of Adventure was first open. Now I will be there when Epic Universe opens. I’m so excited to experience the storytelling, the thrills, the new foods, and most of all the emotions I will have to become part of each world’s story and creating new memories. Thank you Universal Studios, you made my heart soar this morning in excitement to my theme park home.
We're here for you. 💙
Key statement is they listened to their fans. All this and no reservations, virtual ques, Genie, LL or phone needed to enjoy your day. No waking up at 7am and stressing about getting on your favorite ride. Love you guys I’ll be there!!!!!
This right here is why I love Universal. Disney makes a vacation so so stressful with having to be on top of everything at the exact right moment. Give me an express pass (or not) and still ride everything. Probably gonna do 3 days here at least for my first visit.
It’s the people who make excuses for the needlessly stressful and greedy way Disney now operates that only enable them to continue screwing over guests. Free Fastpasses for 20yrs-now they have Genie+. Used to love WDW, but have zero desire to go back. Especially as they strip away more classic attractions.
To be fair Volcano Bay is an entire park of virtual queues, and Universal does sell their Express add-on. But in general you're right they require way less planning and allow more spontaneity...even in something as simple as switching parks or grabbing a meal since their footprint is so much more compact and walkable.
To me the most impressive element shown is the BALANCE between authenticity to their IP and allowing the guests to experience their own journey in said IP. Even these quick glimpses of their four themed lands reveal how much Disney missed the mark with Galaxy's Edge in their insistence on in-universe realism over guest experience. In-universe Dracula and Frankenstein, or Mario and Donkey Kong, or Paris and the Ministry of Magic all wouldn't exist in the same geographic space, but by relaxing the rules just a bit Universal ended up with four spaces which look thematically pure while allowing guests to encounter and experience the full assortment of characters and spaces within each world. Star Wars fans want to drink at Mos Eisley Cantina, ride a speeder on Hoth, fly on the Falcon with Han Solo, and go shopping at Cloud City. By insisting that all the action takes place on Batuu and at one specific time period guests are denied all of those moments, in exchange for a more pure experience in a setting no one actually cares about. I'm so glad Universal seems to have learned from that lesson and allowed their guests to actually experience what it is that makes each of their fictional worlds so special.
Honestly, there has been absolutely no communication by Universal to confirm how the introduction of the new park will impact Premier hotel prices, express Pass, Annual Pass pricing and benefits, or Park tickets prices. We have no idea what will change or when.
I mean a virtual queue sounds great. I would rather be able to do something else while I am waiting in line.
I go to Orlando and choose Universal over Disney every time, and I never look back. New park is going to be epic! My family is so excited. Saving up already to hopefully score a stay at the Helios! Great work Universal!❤
Wow. Just wow. I cried just watching this. Its indeed going to be EPIC! Epic Universe is going to beat Disney to a pulp.
This has potential to be the best opening day park of all time. I’m beyond excited for 2025.
will u be there?
Well Universal and Islands has a track record of having horrible opening days due to the amount of rides with down times. I bet it'll be similar
@@jaredf6205bro what? Each land has a coaster
He deleted his comment when he realized how wrong he was@@ElizaMonster27
This looks better than anything Disney has put out in the past 25 years. As a lifelong major Disney parks fan/nerd and a relative Universal newcomer, I can honestly say that I am more excited about this park than I have been for anything Disney has done during my lifetime. Truly exciting.
Universal Orlando Resort is about to claim the top spot in the Orlando theme park world when Epic Universe opens. As Disney continues to raise prices and lower quality, Universal seems to be doing the exact opposite. Like I said, I have been going to the Disney parks since I was five years old back in ~2003 and have only been to Universal a handful of times, but I truly am more excited about Epic Universe opening than I have been for just about everything Disney has done during my lifetime. It really is an awesome time to be a Orlando theme parks fan!
I agree!
Same
@@emiline1328 are you a prior fan of Universal or are you also mainly a Disney person like me that Epic Universe is drawing over to their side? Like I said, my family would take at least yearly trips to Disney together with my same-age cousins beginning in like ‘03 or ‘04 and kept that tradition until we all graduated high school. So I’ve been to Disney more than I can count, but only ever went to universal Orlando for the first time in 2022, mainly because I finally watched all of the Harry Potter movies and got super into them lol. I finally had an excuse to get myself to sacrifice a Disney day to go to universal instead, and to my sorta surprise, the wizarding world stuff is easily every bit as good as any of Disney’s best stuff. That trip is what finally got me to take off the Disney blinders and realize that universal is also making world class attractions, sometimes better than Disney. Now with Epic Universe, for the first time ever I think I would actually choose Universal over Disney at this point. They truly are really nailing it right now on a level Disney hasn’t been at since who knows when. But yeah, EU is truly gonna be epic.
The fact this is making me smile while watching ….. why universal is gonna be #1
I can't wait to experience this. ❤ Thank you Universal studios. You guys are definitely doing something right and staying true to yourself in doing this.
Universal is getting every single dollar of my Disney trip budget for at least the next 5 years. This looks amazing! Just the fact they have Trader Brandon and Jordan Hill (club mayday) on this is all I had to hear to be excited for this! Absolutely nailed it, Universal.
I’m a 49-year-old businessman and this brought tears to my eyes…dead serious (and can’t wait)
I'm 46, and I'm sitting here in Spain yearning to be able to go back. I to have a few tears. Used to fly for a living and stayed opposite Universal twice a month for 5 days, we'd get in free with our staff passes, so I'd be there everyday. I truly miss that park.
If you think this is "cool" you should see what GOD has in store for all who are saved. NOTHING this earth has can compare to the GLORY of GOD & HEAVEN! HOME is where I'm looking forward to the most. PRAISE JESUS!!!!
Each of the lands looks so cool, but I think I'm most excited about Celestial Park - it looks beautiful!
I’m so incredibly excited that there will be an Island of Berk! Thanks for thinking of your fans. Universal Orlando is our family’s favorite theme park. Disney can’t hold a candle to you! ❤
Dear Universal,
I love how you said ‘the thrill of being alive’ toward the end of this video. I think that sentence truly captures what this new park is going to mean to so many people - from all over the world, and all ages. I’m 43, and I’m as excited as a little child probably is to go on this adventure. I truly can’t wait to see something this new and innovative coming next year 2025. It’s not ten years away, it’s just around the corner really, and I think that makes it even more surreal. This experience is actually coming very, very soon. I truly look forward to walking into Celestial Park for the very first time. Thanks for the fabulous update.
Love ya, ❤

Oh man, I'm almost crying here. My first visit to Universal was in December 1990, for my 5th., birthday. The Universal Studios Florida park had opened in that year and my parents absolutely LOVED the "ride the movies" experience. Years later, in 1999, I was at the resort with my family to celebrate the opening of Islands of Adventure. I was 13 years old. Next year I'll be 40 and can't wait to experience everything Epic Universe will offer. You guys are part of my history. The greatest memories I have of my life have Universal parks in it.
Thanks for bringing so much joy and excellence. Lots of love to all of you.
awesome
THANK YOU,,,, Universal! Florida, the US,,, the World,,,, needs this,,, now,,, more than ever! My family and I cannot wait for this Epoch New Universe!
What an innovative concept, listening to and giving fans what they want! Wake up Disney
Universal is truly killing it, amazing how better and better they’re becoming.
As a former USH opening crew to WWoHP, watching this made me cry and excited to see Epic Universe!
Im extremely happy they are creating a new park! Ive grown up with the Spielberg films and Universal Monster’s films, and I LOVED going to Universal for those rides, EXTREMELY EXCITED for Dark Universe!
Im doing an Interprenership for Tech ride and show at Universal and i cannot tell everyone how happy i am to be apart of the comcast corporation working at One of the best Theme parks That offers so much to gives into return, and with epic universe opening very very soon...this is a definite game changer not only between disney, but between all theme parks worldwide........Universal is on their oen level of themeing that not only brings out Their first 3 theme parks, but steps up the hype for so many people to come from all arpund the world and im all in for it❤
My husband and I went to Universal for our honeymoon, 1999. We loved Universal so much that we moved Orlando. We are now celebrating our 25th Anniversary! You are a huge part of our family. We are so excited to see this next expansion!
Wow incredible story!!! And congrats.
Last time I went to Universal I was blown away. can't wait to go back again and see the new areas
This is why I love Universal!!!
I'll always love that you can clearly tell Universal cares about the fans and their input. You can see that in their past, present and future attractions and details but also because I've noticed they're SO good at reading and responding to RUclips comments and TripAdvisor reviews! Will always appreciate that!
This is PR. Of course, everything is perfect with PR. Wait until it's actually open to see if they paid attention to details.
@@brooksfire9580 That sure is true, but it should say something when one company has people actively reading the comments and the other doesn’t. That alone says a lot.
“The full thrill of being alive” hit such a heartstring
😢it’s so beautiful my sister will be 10 when this is open so for once I think she can have an experience no other park can give her rn and my god I always loved universal just because of the detail they put into it. Plz never stop being amazing at this work it always makes me feel like a kid going through your parks 👏🤧
Went to Disney and Universal a year ago. Universal is hands down better in every way and after seeing this I’m so excited to bring my son baxk
Wow this park looks truly incredible we cannot wait to get in this park in 2025.... I'll also add, I think I speak for the entirety of British Theme park community in saying we very much hope your Universal Great Britain project near Bedford goes ahead as something even close to this park in the UK will be a dream come true :D
Can't Agree more, love going to Florida, but a Theme Park in the UK anything like that would be great.
They hearted it, It's official.
As long as it’s a significantly different product - part of the joy of going to Florida (aside from the weather) is to experience all the attractions that you cannot get at home. If they build a really similar park you can do go to every week, I think it will ruin the magic a little! If they really make it unique to Britain with some different themes it would be amazing!
@@davidro77 I agree, thankfully they've already said if it goes ahead it will not feature any rides found in the Orlando parks. I imagine this is to not to cannibalise their market of brits who visit Orlando, but to wet peoples whistle who might not have visited their international gates without a taster closer to home.
@@WorldofCoasters wow that’s good news! Although struggling to see how they’d be able to do HP without borrowing existing rides like the castle and escape from gringotts
No because I AM TEARING UP right now this is everything❤
FOUND ITT
CARTER
i see u carter (from carter cult)
Carter stop fanboying
From the culttt ❤😂
I'm emotional watching this! Literally can't wait to experience this with my family
Now this is something I’ve been looking forward to for years
Not me weeping before work in the morning at a universal parks promo video!! As a Universal Orlando fan since 1999 Its been a privilege following alongside this park from concept, to breaking ground, rumors to the official land announcements! I cannot wait to see all the theme park vloggers content of this park for the first year, and then experiencing it for myself - there will be tears lol
I will cry at the entrance , as someone who links this to my dearest family memories , and as an adult honeymooned here and go with my wife . I was 6 when I visited studios just a parking lot and the park , I feel like I grew with universal , and construction of IOA my dad snuck me over the fence and took a picture with the dinosaur before the park was even legal to get in and yelled at by construction workers - I am so excited - universal is part of my life , part of me- forever . Looks stellar
I’m so excited and ready for this new chapter to start next year!
Now all we need is a real life Jurassic Park with robot dinosaurs and we’re GOLDEN!!!
This already exists at universal studios “islands of adventure” haha there’s a whole jursssic park land
Congratulations on taking guest data seriously and transforming it into something that will be truly "Epic". It is comforting to know while the House of Mouse has lost its way, Universal continues to innovate and provide incredible experiences that ALL families can afford. Can't wait to visit your newest creation!
Blown away and so impressed by how quickly this is being done! Universal means everything to me. So much that myself and my partner go engaged there in 2022. Our honeymoon is also booked to come back in 2025, and we are hoping Epic Universe will be ready, but if not we’ll be back in 2026!! We keep coming back because we love it and what I love most is that Universal really cares about its customers!! ❤❤
